Phase transition in QCD with brokenSU(2)flavor symmetry

Abstract
We report the first investigation of the QCD transition temperature Tc for two flavors of staggered quarks with unequal masses at lattice spacings of 1/4T. On changing the u/d quark mass ratio in such a way that mπ02/mπ±2 changes from 1 to 0.78, thus bracketing the physical value of this ratio, we find that Tc remains unchanged in units of both mρ and ΛMS¯.
